Who all is using an electric water pump on their LSx?

I keep poking around the idea of putting an electric water pump on my motor sometime this summer (along with many other ideas I want to tinker with this season )

Who's using one, and what brand did you use? Any complaints/highlights? Any idea what kind of power gain could be expected from something like this?

I'd imagine it wouldn't be difficult to wire one in. I don't plan on getting one right now, but maybe in the middle of summer I'll snag one up. Right now I'm focused on getting the rear end built for the car and getting my dad's car up and running.

I'd love to have one, had a bunch of them on my old gen1 motors....can't afford one for a gen3 motor yet. They're awful expensive still

A friend of mine took his off after one summer of usage (don't know why) and sold it for like $350 last year. I wish I would have jumped on it

I'd really like this one. It's on SALE for $579

I like the fact that it's blue and is engraved "LS1"
